The camera pans along to make room for each character beautifully, and each shot gives everyone enough space! Even when there are four people in one frame, they still find a way to fit them all in with breathing room! That&#39;s how to do cinematography.The Noir Guyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05083554242251593591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22406604.post-959678645921109552010-12-31T17:27:20.994-08:002010-12-31T17:27:20.994-08:00&quot; ... speak up, junior.&quot; What a great m...<i>&quot; ... speak up, junior.&quot;</i> What a great moment. <br /><br />Happy New Year!!!Chris S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/03876745206255896026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22406604.post-13022970622005654042010-12-31T16:26:04.667-08:002010-12-31T16:26:04.667-08:00John, do you have the 5 movie noir boxed set with ...John, do you have the 5 movie noir boxed set with The Racket, On Dangerous Ground? It also has one of my faves, His Kind of Woman. Great Mitchum and Russell vehicle with great Vincent Price role too.

When Ryan slaps his brother around, he unwittingly gives him the upper hand, so to speak. That dynamic makes the proceedings far more interesting than they would be on the basis of script alone ....Peter Saundershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12139294381839470191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22406604.post-38365433640126855672010-12-31T10:47:39.495-08:002010-12-31T10:47:39.495-08:00Brings back some good memories of a certain Weeken...Brings back some good memories of a certain Weekend Pussy Hunt scene.Roberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11461329565369066241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22406604.post-48192527778725164832010-12-31T03:30:06.930-08:002010-12-31T03:30:06.930-08:00Needs a good titty-shot.Needs a good titty-shot.Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15082173897311105271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22406604.post-45952266527567379562010-12-30T20:26:16.795-08:002010-12-30T20:26:16.795-08:00Yeah, but can they play moody teenage vampires??
